Chapter 150 Do Me One Thing
Yu Wan smiled but remained silent.
Princess Changning covered her mouth and nose in shock, trying to process the meaning behind Yu Wan's words.
After a long while, she frowned and said, "What kind of foolish thing has the Duke of Anguo's mansion done?"
Yu Wan blinked. "Does the princess believe me?"
Princess Changning replied without hesitation, "Of course I believe you."
"You saved me, so I trust you."
Yu Wan's eyes flickered.
Since transmigrating into the book, Princess Changning has been the only person who has unconditionally trusted her.
She and Princess Changning exchanged glances for a few seconds. "Today I will teach Your Highness how to control a horse and make it obedient."
Princess Changning smiled and said, "Alright!"
The two laughed unrestrainedly, surprising even the servants of the princess's residence.
It's been a long time since I've seen a princess like someone so much.
The atmosphere here was harmonious, but Chen Wan, who was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's jail, was going crazy.
The Ministry of Justice prison was dark and damp, and infested with rats.
Because Princess Changning specifically instructed that no special care be given, Chen Wan was directly locked in the dampest cell.
The cell was so wet that even the weeds on the ground were wet, and there was nowhere to put your feet.
Last night, Chen Wan couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep by the door. In her half-awake state, she felt something moving on her face. When she opened her eyes, she saw a rat's tail dangling near her mouth.
Chen Wan immediately screamed and cried out to the jailer in despair, but instead she was scolded by the jailer.
After that, no matter how sleepy she was, Chen Wan didn't dare to fall asleep.
In just one day and one night, she was completely different from when she was first locked up.
At this moment, she was pale and disheveled, looking like a beggar on the street.
Even as the daughter of a hunter, Chen Wan had never suffered such hardship.
She stared at the hole in the cell through which only a sliver of light could penetrate, and thought sadly, "Didn't Heaven make her the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo's mansion so that she could enjoy a life of luxury?"
Why are you treating her like this now?
She should have become the Regent's wife, a noble woman second only to the emperor, instead of being easily driven to despair by a mere princess!
Since Heaven already knew what would happen in the future, why did it still allow the real "Yu Wan" to appear?!
Chen Wan's heart was filled with resentment and malice.
She wished she could tear Yu Wan to pieces, cut her into a thousand pieces, and make her disappear from this world completely!
Filled with resentment, Chen Wan succumbed to sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
She had that same precognitive dream again.
Yu Wan, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo's family, was cherished and pampered by the future regent's wife, and became the most glamorous woman in Shengjing.
Chen Wan dreamed that she became "Yu Wan," the Regent's Consort, and the most noble woman in the world.
When she was woken up, Chen Wan still had a smile on her face.
Seeing her like this, the jailer narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "It seems Miss Yu is having a good time here, even dreaming sweet dreams."
Chen Wan suddenly snapped out of her daze upon hearing the jailer's sarcastic voice.
When the jailer spoke to her, she assumed that someone from the Duke of Anguo's mansion had finally come to rescue her, and exclaimed happily, "Quick! Let me out! I can't stand staying here for even a second longer!"
The jailer looked at her but didn't open the door; instead, he took a step back to the side.
Chen Wan was puzzled and looked up behind him. She saw what appeared to be a tall man standing in the dim light.
The cell was dimly lit, and Chen Wan could only vaguely make out that the man seemed to be wearing a magnificent purple robe.
The man's voice was somewhat sinister, "You're the legitimate daughter the Duke of Anguo's mansion just found?"
Chen Wan nodded hesitantly, "...I am, who are you?"
"Me?" The man chuckled softly. "I'm the one who can ensure your safe departure from here."
"However, I have a condition."
"You need to do something for me."
……
On the other side, it was almost dark when Yu Wan finished teaching Princess Changning and left the princess's residence.
Princess Changning sent a carriage to take her home.
As soon as Yu Wan got off the carriage, she hadn't walked far when she saw Miao Hong come out after hearing the news.
"lady!"
Yu Wan looked up at her and smiled, "Why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong?"
Miao Hong walked over to Yu Wan and lowered her voice to say, "Madam, after you got into the carriage to the Princess's residence this morning, the young master also went out. He told me not to tell you that he went out."
Yu Wan was puzzled. "Where did he go? Why did he specifically tell you this?"
Miao Hong shook her head, "This servant doesn't know either, but the young master hasn't returned yet, Madam..."
"I've heard that once a man becomes successful, he forgets his wife who shared his hardships. Do you think the young master might be having an affair?"
Yu Wan: "..." This idea is quite bold.
Yun Shang's departure at this crucial time of exam preparation must mean he has something important to do.
Yu Wan reached out and flicked Miao Hong's head, then walked into the mansion. "That's not true. What are you thinking about all day long?"
Miao Hong, her eyes full of doubt, followed and whispered, "Doesn't Madam have any suspicions?"
“Young Master Zhou used to love me very much, but in the end he still abandoned me. This shows that all men are the same in nature.”
Yu Wan tilted her head and glanced at Miao Hong, saying indifferently, "If he really has a woman outside, then I'll just find a man too. Don't worry, your wife won't let herself suffer."
As they were talking, the two of them walked to the corner.
Before Yu Wan could finish speaking, and before Miao Hong could reply, the two of them heard a clear, cold voice coming from around the corner.
"Which man does Madam wish to see?"
Miao Hong was startled, and her face turned pale.
Yu Wan was also startled. She recognized Yun Shang's voice and was about to scold him when her brows suddenly furrowed.
There seemed to be a bloody smell in the air.
She quickly walked around the corner and, sure enough, saw Yun Shang leaning against a pillar, his lips an unnaturally pale color.
Yu Wan's heart tightened. She took a few steps forward, supported him, and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Yun Shang leaned most of his body against her.
He curled his lips into a smile and said in a low voice, "It's nothing serious, just a bullet wound."
Shot by an arrow?!
Yu Wan was shocked and looked down to check his body, only to find that Yun Shang had a scratch on his arm.
The wound wasn't deep, but the blood never clotted.
Yu Wan suddenly realized something and turned to instruct Miao Hong, "Go prepare hot water and wound medicine."
Miao Hong didn't know what had happened, but she obediently went back to prepare.
Yu Wan helped Yun Shang into the house without asking him what had happened. Instead, she rummaged through drawers and cabinets to find the medicine powder that Old Man Feng had given her.
Old Feng once said that his medicinal powder could cure common poisons.
Yun Shang's wound was bleeding profusely; something must have been smeared on the weapon that injured him.
Yun Shang leaned against the bed watching her busy herself, the coldness in her eyes dissipating, leaving only tenderness.
Yu Wan didn't notice the change in his expression. After finding the medicine, she sprinkled it on Yun Shang's wound. Before long, the bleeding wound showed a visible change.
"The bleeding has stopped!" Yu Wan breathed a long sigh of relief.
She glanced at Yun Shang's clothes; they were so wet they could practically drip blood.
With that much bleeding, he hasn't even fainted yet. It must be because of the male lead's halo.
Miao Hong brought over some warm water, and Yu Wan finished cleaning Yun Shang's wounds. Just as she was about to ask him what had happened, she heard a flurry of footsteps outside.
Miao Hong, who was guarding outside the door, knocked on the door, her voice somewhat anxious, "Young master, madam, the gatekeeper reported that Imperial Guards are coming into the mansion to search for suspects, and they have already broken in!"
